The UNAA proposes the target of achieving net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 be adopted throughout Australia and a plan to achieve this across public and private sectors be developed as soon as possible. The position paper and associated discussion paper explain how these steps are now underway in countries throughout the world.

UNAA Climate Change Program

In response to the UN’s 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the United Nations Association of Australia is promoting the development of a national, inclusive climate management framework.

The Paris Agreement requires states to progressively “mobilise stronger and more ambitious action by all stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, cities and subnational authorities, local governments and indigenous peoples”.
